A related cabinet inlaid with richly figured veneers and with chequer-ribbon borders, is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and has an identical geometric pattern of ovals and medallions on the doors (see: J. van Herck, IL Mobile Fiammingo, Milan, 1972, fig. 99). Another cabinet at the Rijksmuseum with this pattern of serpentined stretcher is attributed to Jan van Mekeren (d. 1733) (see: R. Baarsen, 'Mix and Match Marquetry', Country Life, 13 October 1988, p. 225. Baarsen refers to other cabinets at Amerongen Castle, Denmark, one of which has closely related marquetry doors. Further related cabinets were sold in these Rooms, 14 December 1973, lot 162, and 9 June 1988, lot 176.
